Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[biggs682]

This is a bit rough but at least its honest, apart from delivery from Italy which is no more than €40 to France !https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bici-Bicicletta-DA-CORSA-Racing-bike-La-Friulana/222772803218?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDXT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

So you going for it then?

Looks like chromovelato, nice chainset

Yes lm sure it is chromovelato but well worn top tube. Same blue as my Faggin

So you going for it then?

I dunno what to do...it looks straight, not trying to be something it isn't but lm lusting after the Viner (even though it is white)

I may live to regret this but l will give it a miss even though it looks as though it could be Oria tube construction so bloody good pedigree !

That bike is so gorgeous, an absolute work of art and arguably far too beautiful to ever use on the road.

I agree it's very pretty, but it also looks very fragile to me. i don't think I'd want to ride that on the sort of debris-strewn, badly repaired and pothole infested roads we have to put up with. Couldn't see the wheels and tyres holding up too well....

It would be fine it's built by one of the all time great framebuilders and as long as the wheels and tyres were of equal quality and used as intended it should be ok .

All it needs is a well heeled hipster to single speed it now

Wow, I've never heard of Pongo Braithwaite before, but he seems to have made some nice looking bikes..............

Here is another one of his bikes, my back hurts just looking at the photo.................
